“The recognition of the two separatist territories in Ukraine is a blatant violation of international law, the territorial integrity of Ukraine and the Minsk agreements,” EU chiefs Ursula von der Leyen and Charles Michel each tweet.
“The EU and its partners will react with unity, firmness and with determination in solidarity with Ukraine.”
